 | Comments: |
Apologies again for late entry.(computer problem now taken care of--yea!) Long Trail and Adam's Apple Trail nice and dry. Adam's Apple a quiet spot with a great view of the Chin and other local features. Haselton wet on the way down with some mud, running water on trail and some wet rocks. Haselton allows one a loop hike on the east side of Mansfield so you can take the highly recommended ridge walk on the LT between the Chin and the Nose. Book states 0.6 mile road walk but believe it's shorter than this.
For an even more enjoyable loop hike (Underhill side) check out Maple Ridge-Sunset Loop reports or trail info. Highly recommend ridge walk whichever side you're on. |
